The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6860-1 advisory.
Reynir Bjrnsson discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled terminating client connections. A remote authenticated client could possibly use this issue to keep the connection active, bypassing certain security policies. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-28882)
Reynir Bjrnsson discovered that OpenVPN incorrectly handled certain control channel messages with nonprintable characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenVPN to consume resources, or fill up log files with garbage, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-5594)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
